A Mothers Constant Love.

Chicago News.
A woman past middle age, her every
feature trembling with emotion, pleaded
in behalf of her son in Judge Rogers
court this morning. "He was led into
bad company, judge. | don't think he
knew what he was doing when he com
mitted the act" said the mother, in
broken voice Don't be hard with
him." she continued, in voice full of
tenderness, at the same time bending
look of compassion on her wayward
boy.
He was a good looking young man,
well dressed and intelligent, by name
Frank Miller, and few weeks ago m ade
his way into the residence of Mrs. Lizzie
Cowan on Taylor street, near Lincoln,
and had a lot of miscellaneous property
bundled up preparatory to departing
with it when apprehended. The charge
against him was burglary
81 am sure he didn't know what he
was doing, judge am sure he didn't"
his mother went on. A troubled look
came over the judges face. Apparently
be did not like to refuse the mothers
prayer.
"One moment" said Assistant States
Attorney Walker, "let me see the in
dictment"
Frank" said he, glancing over the
bill, "you were sent to the penitentiary
once before, we're you not?'
Yes"
"You were just eight days out of the
penitentiary when you committed this
last burglary, were you nots''
yes"
That settled it with the court.
u don't want to seem hard" Mr..
Walker continued, ''but we said nothing
of a former conviction purely on the
mothers account, otherwise the jury
would have given him twenty years.
"It was all through bad company,
judge" persisted the mother.
"That's the trouble" said the Court
"the penitentiary doesn't seem to reform
them. They go in bad company, and
sometimes they are bad company for
others. I'll have to send him back for
five years; let it be five years in State
prison."
The mother bowed her head. Her
heart seemed broken. A bailiff seized
her son and led him out of the court
room. As he started to go the mother
begged to be allowed to talk with him
for few moments. This request was
granted Miller is not yet 26. He will
be taken to the penitentiary some time
this week.

FIG. 2-INsIpE PLAN or PIGGERY.

A width of 20 feet admits of central
alleyway feet wide, and pens s feet
wide on each side of it, as seen in Fig. 2
Each SOW should have two pens 6 by 8
feet, one to sleep in and the other for use
during daytime. The long outside walls
are feet high, with door for each pen
leading into an outside inclosure, 10 by
16 feet. The center posts are feet high.
Over each pen and under the center roof
are small windows to admit light and air.
One or two of the pens may be used for
storing corn and bran. From never fall

SMILE WHENEVER you CAN.


When things don't go to suit you,
And the world seems up-ide down,
Don't waste your time in fretting,
But drive away that frown
Since life is Oft perplsxing.
Iis much the wisest plan
To bear all trials bravely,
And smile whenever you can.
Why should you dread the morrow,
And thus despoil to-day?
For when you borrow trouble
You always have TO pay.
1t is good old maxim,
Which should be often preached
"Don't cross the bridge before you
Until the bridge is reached.
You might be spared much sighing,
II you would keep in mind
The thought that good and evil
Are always here combined.
There must be something wanting,
And though you roll in wealth,
1on may miss from your easket
That precious jewel-health.
And though your strong and sturdy,
You may have an empty purse
And earth has many trials
Which | consider worse
But whether joy or sorrow
Fill up your mortal span;
Twill make your pathway brighter
TO smile wiener you can.

A Convenient Piggery.

Farmers ought TO provide for swine
protection from the heat of summer and
the cold of winter place where the
young pigs can lie fed by themselves, and
where fattening as well as breeding stock
may receive proper treatment. A good
pasture in summer and a sunny yard in
winter are the best places for pigs the
greater part of the year; but during GER
tain seasons some kind of a house is quite
necessary for swine where most profitable
results are required.

A. Oemler in some very sound advice
given to truck farmers of the south,
furnishes directions that may be safely
followed in any locality where vegetable
and strawberry plants are grown. Fol
lowing are some of his suggestions; In
transplanting such plants as the straw
berry, the fibrous roots should be opened
out as much as possible, while the root OF
the tap rooted plant, as the cabbage, beet,
etc. should be placed regularly up and
down and not bent upon itself. II such
root is bent. the nutritive matter in de-
scending frOan the boxes will be inter-
rupted at the bend, and new rootlets will
be slow to appear beyond IL. In trans
planting, the soil ought to be uniformly,
but not harshly, pressed to the roots their
entire length, from the extreme lower
point upward.
With the exception of asparagus, horse
radish, onions and such plants as emit
new roots along the lower portion OF the
stem, as tomatoes, cabbage, etc, it is
safe rule to put down the plant TO the
depth OF which it originally grew. In
sandy soil it sometimes becomes necessary,
in a drought during an entire transplant
ing season, to water the plants after they
are set out. In this case the watereo
surface should be covered with dry soil te
prevent baking.
In loose, fine, light soil, free from sticks,
stones, pebbles, etc, the hand alone i
often used in transplanting on smal
scale, but either the planting Stuck oi
dibble, or the trowel, is preferable, Ths
trowel is the safer implement In tns

To insert the plant properly, it is helc

of the left hand, and thus placed in TIT

ground two or three inches from the plant

On the subject of how to feed ground
rations, Professor Arnold says that there
IS no advantage in simply wetting ground
feed to give to cattle. 1T is quite as well
Tor them TO eat it dry, and it is better to
feed IL so in winter, unless it can be fed
warm. When the weather is suitable
there is some advantage in wetting the
hay or straw to be fed, and mixing the
ground feed with it. Fed in this way the
meal and coarse fodder go into the first
stomach, or rumen, together. and all are
remasticated. If the meal is fed alone, it
is liable TO miss the first stomach and go
directly into the third or fouIth stomach,
when 1t IS not chewed over again, and
hence it is not digested as soon or as well
One pound of the mixed food for each 100
pounds of live weight, mixed with straw,
would be a suitable ration for milch cows.
II fed TO store cattle or dry cows, 25 per
cent. less meal would suffice.''

When plants are removed from the SOIL

able shock is experienced unless great care
is exercised in transplanting them to their
new bed The important operation OF
transpianting is properly performed when
the equilibrium between the functions of
the roots and the leaves is soonest re-es-
tablished If plants are transplanted to
wet and particularly heavy soil, the part
pressed To the roots will bake and con-
tract, leaving open spaces near the roots.
The earth into which plants are to be
shifted should be freshly dug, as this
seems to encourage an early emission of
Young rootlets; and it should be as fine as
possible, so that every part of the roots
may come in contact with soil and
moisture.
If the earth has been freshly stirred

LOWELL, Mass, Nov. 29.-The fol-

answer to the request made by Mayor
Abbott of Secretary Bayard that the
United States government take some
steps with regard to the arrest of
Thomas Callan, of this city, in London,
on suspicion of being dynamiter:
department of State, Washington,
Nov. 28.-In reply to your telegram of
the Goth, received to-day, beg to in
form you that the department Of state
has no other information of the cause of
the arrest of Thomas Callan than is con-
tanned in the cablegram from London
which lately appeared in the public
newspapers, stating in substance
that he, together with Michael
Hawkins, had been arrested
because found in possession of
a quantity of dynamite in the city of
London, an offense against the laws of
Great Britain. The department is
wholly without authority to apply for
stay of proceedings pending investiga-
ton, as requested in your telegram.
The Investigation referred to is doubt
less preliminary to formal trial and
except to secure a fair trial under the
laws this department would have no
right TO interfere, unless to prevent
arbitrary treatment or denial of JUS
tice to one of its citizens. Nor beyond
this would foreign government be
permitted to interfere i'll similar pro-
ceedingS in the courts of this country.
Respectfully yours, L. F. BAYARD."

THE LINCOLN ROW.
Why the Mayor and City Council
Went to Jail.

LINCOLN, Nov. 29.-Mayor Sawyer
and ten of the twelve members of the
city council are now incarcerated in the
Douglas county Jail at Omaha, by order
of Judge Brewer, of the United States
court, they having refused to pay fines
imposed by the court for contempt ag-
gregating $500. The history of the case
which led up to this condition of affairs
is about as follows: Some time in July
last charges were preferred against
Police Judge Parsons by a number of
citizens, alleging malfeaSance in Office
and misrepresentation Of funds paid
into his hands for violation of city Ordi-
nanceS. The council decided to inveSti-
gate the affairs OF the police judge, but
had not proceeded far when they found
that before doing so they would have to
adopt set of rules to govern the exam
nation, as the city was working under
a new charter. This was done and
the investigation proceeded, and re-
suited in determination on the part of
the council to GUST the police judge.
After the council had decided upon this
action, but before the final vote
declaring the Office vacant had
been token. the police judge applied to
Judge Brewer, of the federal court, for
an injunction, alleging that he was
being tried for an alleged Offense by an
eX-pOst law. A temporary injunction
was served on the council, but that body,
believing that the case had been wan
tonly misrepresented to the federal
court for the purpose of gaining time,
decided to disregard the injunction, and
thereupon took final action, removed
Police Judge Parsons and confirmed the
mayors appointment of successor to
the office. The council was then cited
to appear before Judge Brewer to an
sWer to the charge of contempt. At
this hearing the court held that, al
thought it might not have jurisdiction
in the case originally brought, yet it
was contempt for the council to diSre
gard the temporary Injunction, and
fined them accordingly in sums ranging
from $50 to $50 each. The council de-
cided to test the case in the highest
court i'll the land. and in accordance
Herewith refused to pay the fines and
went to jail. Their legal representative
has already left for Washington to in
stitute habeas corpus proceeding i'll the
